00:00This is our latest satellite animation, and as of 4 in the afternoon, the eye of the storm Agon was last seen, 155 kilometers west of Casiguran in Aurora.
00:13So it still has maximum sustained winds of 140 kilometers per hour near its eye, and gustiness up to 170 kilometers per hour.
00:23And it is still moving slowly, 10 kilometers per hour only, east-northeast while at the east of Northern Luzon.
00:31Based on our latest satellite animation, it is slowly enhancing our southwesterly wind flow, or the mixed winds coming from East Ganluran.
00:41And that means we will experience rain in many areas here in Western Visayas, Zamboanga Peninsula, Mimaropa this afternoon until tomorrow morning.
00:52And based on our latest satellite animation, we don't have any cloud clusters, other than this, that could be a low-pressure area or a new storm in the next few days.
01:05This is the latest track of the storm regarding Typhoon Agon.
01:09Yesterday morning, as you can see, it only stayed in the area of Quezon Province, its center, because this is the time when it will have a recurve.
01:20That's why the rain that fell in Calabarzon area, especially in Quezon, increased.
01:25And then afterwards, it moved northeastward, even though it was slow, it passed through Polilio Island in Quezon,
01:32until it reached the eastern side, the coastal waters of Aurora.
01:37And tomorrow morning, we expect that it will be further.
01:41300 kilometers east of Tuguegarao City, Cagayan.
01:44Tomorrow afternoon, it will reach around 500 kilometers east of Batanes.
01:49And it will be further, Wednesday afternoon, more than 1,000 kilometers northeast of extreme northern Luzon.
01:57And afterwards, it will leave the area of responsibility.
02:01For the next two days, it will remain as a typhoon, that is between 140 to 155 kilometers per hour.
02:08So it's still strong, even though we expect strong winds in this circle,
02:14our country will no longer have experience if it goes out, or if it moves further, tomorrow morning.
02:22For now, this is our signal number one.
02:24Our areas that have signal number two have been removed, here in eastern Isabela and Aurora.
02:30We still have signal number one in the eastern portion of Quirino, as Madela, Nagtipunan, and Aglipay.
02:36Southern portion of Nueva Vizcaya, as Anfalso, Castaneda, Dupax del Sur, and Dupax del Norte.
02:43Eastern portion of Isabela, as Divilacan, San Mariano, San Guillermo, Jones, Etxague, San Agustin,
02:52Makonakon, Ilagan, Benito Sullivan, Agana, Angadanan, Naguilian, Kawayan, Palanan, and Dinapique.
03:00For the whole of Aurora, signal number one.
03:02Also in the northern portion of Quezon, General Nacar, Infanta, Real, and the whole of Impolilio Islands.
03:08And also signal number one in the northwestern portion of Camarines Norte, Vincennes, Paracale,
03:14Jose Panganiban, and Kapalonga, as Calaguas Islands.
03:18So these are the places where the wind is blowing, even though it is not as strong as the past few days.
03:26What are we hoping for? We have strong winds, especially in coastal and mountainous or upland areas in the next few hours.
03:36But while this storm is moving away, it may decrease and possibly by tomorrow we will no longer have tropical cyclone wind signals.
03:45When it comes to rain, we are still hoping for rain in the next few days
03:50due to the effect of the southwesterly wind flow enhanced by this storm.
03:54We still have some dangerous rain, 50-100 mm, until tomorrow.
03:59And tonight, Occidental Mindoro, Palawan, Antique, Iloilo, Guimaras, and Negros Occidental.
04:07While tomorrow, May 28, we still have hope for rain.
04:12Over Occidental Mindoro, Palawan, and Western Visayas.
04:15So mostly on the western side of Southern Luzon and Visayas.
04:19For Metro Manila, as well as the majority of Luzon, we will still experience scattered rain,
04:25especially from afternoon to night in the next few days.
04:28The southwest wind flow is also affected, so the chances of rain are the highest here in Sambales, Bataan, Ilocos Region,
04:35Cavite, Batangas, Metro Manila, and in the areas on the western side of Southern Luzon and Visayas.
04:44We will continue to remind our countrymen to be careful of possible floods.
04:50Flooding of our rivers is still possible due to continuous rains,
04:54and landslides are still present, especially in mountainous areas.
05:02As for our gale warning, due to flooding, there are still flooded areas up to 4.5 meters.
05:10Here in the eastern seaboard of Cagayan, Isabela, Baybay ng Aurora, and Northern Quezon, as well as the Polilio Islands,
05:18it is still dangerous to sail on the aforementioned seaboards,
05:22and we hope that while the flooding continues, our gale warning may also disappear by tomorrow.
05:30Even though, we still have flooded areas by tomorrow in many areas of Luzon.
05:36To sum it up, we expect that the storm will move northeastward for the next two days,
05:44while it is here in the Philippine Sea, until it leaves our area of responsibility by Wednesday afternoon.
05:52It may weaken as it moves out, but for the next two days, it will remain in a typhoon at 140 kmph,
06:00but it will move to an area where the sea is cold, so it may weaken again as a severe tropical storm.
06:09That was the latest from Weather Forecasting Puna Pag-asa,
06:12but we have a presentation for our dams with our hydrologist, Pastor Elmer Caringal.
06:21Thank you.
06:52Actually, this is our dam as of today, but this was at 8 a.m. earlier.
07:00So, we can notice, first, this is the Angat Dam,
07:03this is one of the affected areas by the floods brought by the typhoon.
07:10Its present elevation as of 8 a.m. today is 179.79,
07:16it came from 178.86 yesterday, so it has an elevation of almost 1 meter, 0.93 meters.
07:25So, we expect that the next day, tomorrow, or the next two days,
07:30its elevation will still be continuous, but it will not be this much.
07:36The rainwater from the mountains is slowly going down to the reservoir, this is the Angat Dam.
07:44And Ipulamesa, it also has an elevation, we can notice it here.
07:49And this is the Ambuklao-Binga-San Roque, this is in the north of Northern Luzon.
07:54So, we noticed that the Ambuklao generated, it went down by 0.42,
08:02and went to Binga, it was flooded by Binga.
08:07So, Binga rose by 1.12 meters,
08:11then, they were a bit close, and San Roque is negative,
08:17this is the lowest of the three dams, the Cascades Dam, or series of dams.
08:24So, Ambuklao-Binga and San Roque.
08:27Then, San Roque is at the lowest, so it went down a bit,
08:32because Binga did not generate, it was full generation.
08:36So, the water accumulates here in Binga.
08:40And Pantabaganda, this is also one of our major dams here in Central Luzon,
08:46in the north of Nueva Ecija.
08:48It was also affected by a bit of rain here in Taipunaghon.
08:55So, they have an elevation of 0.13 meters from 174.60.
09:02Earlier, it reached 174.63.
09:07So, it is also possible that in the coming days, it will continue to rise.
09:12And Magat Dam, this is the one in the extreme northern Luzon, here in Vela.
09:19So, actually, the typhoon is just now approaching the vicinity of Magat Dam.
09:26So, it has not been blessed yet, or if there is, it is just a bit.
09:30So, we can notice that it is still going down.
09:36That is the update of our dams.
09:38And we still have initiatives of flood advisory here in Luzon,
09:46but we will update it later, around 6 p.m.
09:51So, this is our advisory earlier.
09:55We still have in Region 6, Region 10, for necessary precautionary measures,
10:01for possible flash floods, and Region 3, 4A, and 4B, to take appropriate action.
10:09Also, in Region 4B, Region 2, Cagayan Valley, for possible flash floods.
10:17And in NCR, Pasig, Marikina, we also have flood advisory.
10:24We will update it later, around 6 p.m.
10:27So, this is all for now, and thank you very much.
